ABSTRACT.---Pulpw0od production in the Ix_e States increased to 8.6 milllon cords in 1991. Michi-

. gan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin pulpwood production is shown by county and species group.

KEY WORDS: Roundwood, residue, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin.

• Pulpwood production 2 in the Lake States--Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin--increased to

8.55 million cords in 1991 from 8.42 million cords in 1990. Wisconsin produced 3.15 million cords,

Michigan produced 3.35 million cords, and Minnesota produced 2.05 million cords.

Major species harvested were aspen (3.9 million cords), pine (1.2 million cords), maple (I million

cords), birch (5 I0 thousand cords), and other hardwoods (403 thousand cords).

Counties harvesting more than 130 thousand cords each were Delta, Menominee, Dickinson,

Iron, Marquette, and Ontonagon in Michigan; Koochiching, St. Louis, Beltrami, Cass, and Itasca in

Minnesota; and Marinette, Oneida, Vilas, Ashland, Bayfleld, and Sawyer in Wisconsin. These 17
